The Bridge-Builders
"The Bridge-Builders" by Rudyard Kipling is a short story written in the early 20th century. This narrative is steeped in the themes of engineering, resilience, and the interplay between human endeavor and nature, as it focuses on the arduous construction of a bridge over the Ganges River in India. The story addresses the challenges faced by its protagonist, Findlayson, and explores the relationship between the builders and the powerful forces of nature symbolized by the river. The tale revolves around Findlayson, the chief engineer overseeing the construction of the Kashi Bridge, and his assistant Hitchcock, as they confront an impending flood that threatens their work. Together, they navigate physical and bureaucratic challenges while managing a diverse team of workers, including Peroo, a skilled Lascar who plays a crucial role in the project's success. As the floodwaters rise, tensions mount, and the characters grapple with their fears and ambitions, leading to a climactic moment in which the bridge's fate hangs in the balance. This intersection of human skill and the unpredictable might of nature provides a rich backdrop for Kipling’s exploration of duty, sacrifice, and the enduring nature of human achievement amidst adversity.

National Constitutions in European and Global Governance: Democracy, Rights, the Rule of Law: National Reports
This two-volume book, published open access, brings together leading scholars of constitutional law from twenty-nine European countries to revisit the role of national constitutions at a time when decision-making has increasingly shifted to the European and transnational level. It offers important insights into three areas. First, it explores how constitutions reflect the transfer of powers from domestic to European and global institutions. Secondly, it revisits substantive constitutional values, such as the protection of constitutional rights, the rule of law, democratic participation and constitutional review, along with constitutional court judgments that tackle the protection of these rights and values in the transnational context, e.g. with regard to the Data Retention Directive, the European Arrest Warrant, the ESM Treaty, and EU and IMF austerity measures. The responsiveness of the ECJ regarding the above rights and values, along with the standard of protection, is also assessed.

Disasters: Core Concepts and Ethical Theories
This Open Access Book is the first to examine disasters from a multidisciplinary perspective. Justification of actions in the face of disasters requires recourse both to conceptual analysis and ethical traditions. Part 1 of the book contains chapters on how disasters are conceptualized in different academic disciplines relevant to disasters. Part 2 has chapters on how ethical issues that arise in relation to disasters can be addressed from a number of fundamental normative approaches in moral and political philosophy. This book sets the stage for more focused normative debates given that no one book can be completely comprehensive.
